WTF!…It keeps coming up wrong…
Anyway click on “The Fool (tarot card)”; an imbedded link on that page.
SHEESH!
It’s too bad we can’t easily copy/paste images into our comments. I need some study on that topic?

Sorry…that’s not the right link for the Fool image…Here’s (hopefully) the actual link I was intending:

^ And then there’s “THE FOOL” card in the Tarot deck (the 1st card in the Major Arcanna. Actually the “0″ card…representing the start of the “Journey”.)…
which, in my ‘New Age’ days, I always considered it representing each of us on our precarious, totally ignorant, path of our lives. Always, potentially, at the edge of a precipice. The dog, at our heels (see Wikipedia Fool card link below), representing the continual “yapping, biting, & snapping threat” of all things environmental…and, for that matter…genetic.
Of course, I was very much into the concept of Reincarnation (not the Hindu, animal,etc. “Transmigration”); which meant that when we’re born into this so-called “Experiential school of learning” incarnation…NOT our first, by the way…we’re again, born totally ignorant, and subject to the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. (Shake-who?)
Anyway…for much more on that shtick:

I’m guessing that our dear GifSter friend, Eve, is probably familiar with some of that concept…NO?

Hey Lynda that’s a pretty cool definition, I’m sure that the Xian bus signs don’t have that definition in mind, like most of the babble in the buybull it’s another slanderous lie, but hey I’ll take the holy fool tag,lol

Hoffy, I thought I’d look up the definition of “fool” and found this rather interesting definition:

6. One who subverts convention or orthodoxy or varies from social conformity in order to reveal spiritual or moral truth: a holy fool. ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fool )

Kinda changes the meaning of that bus slogan a wee bit, doesn’t it? I don’t mind being called a fool with this rather flattering definition.

^ And think of just how PRIME all the Church and other religion’s properties are; some of the all-time best conceivable locations in every friggin’ town of this nation.
The lost amount of property taxes has to be mind-bogglingly staggering!

where does it say anywhere that separation of church and state gives churches the right not to pay taxes? They have property, are part of this nation and should as a public service pay taxes on the buildings that occupy it.
When one considers the activities that happen in churches, not all activities are for religious ends.
Some activities the church gets paid for and therefore is a moneymaking institution.
Another reason to pay taxes.
If anything goes on in the church besides a religious service, it is being used not as a church.
